This should be the best game of the night in the NHL as both the Rangers and Stars are legit Stanley Cup contenders. Although this game is in Dallas, the Stars have played better on the road, while the Rangers are great at home.
In what should be a low-scoring game, I'll take the better offense with the Rangers, who should be able to get some timely goals and leave Dallas with a win.
